BONANZA Restored To Its Original Quality!, July 6 2004
This review is from: Best of Bonanza (DVD)
Bonanza is at last available as its meant to be...Digitally Mastered, original music, the burning map, and the beautiful watercolor drawings of the opening and closing credits.
The various repeat airings on television since the series ended were edited by up to 10 minutes to allow for more commercial time. This DVD presents the episodes in their original form. And the picture quality is no doubt better than the quality of the then-new color TVs when the series originally aired.
May this Volume 1 sell enough that Republic/Artisan continue to remaster the original prints from the series. There are many classic episodes that have never seen release on video, and were sadly edited in tv repeats...
Springtime, The Hayburner, Hoss and the Leprechauns, The Wooing of Abigail Jones, etc.
The original masters of the Bonanza series need to be restored and preserved on DVD.

For die-hard Bonanza fans only, Jun 6 2004
This review is from: Best of Bonanza (DVD)
The class act in classic TV westerns seems to be Have Gun Will Travel, which works on many levels and effectively engages the modern audience. Bonanza fans may appreciate the excellent DVD transfer, gorgeous settings and selection of episodes in this product. But the rest of us would be better advised to select something with vision and adult-level dialogue going for it.

Why not Season Box Sets?, Mar 28 2004
This review is from: Best of Bonanza (DVD)
This is a great compilation of classic episodes of one of the best shows in TV History.My only complaint is the lack of the deserved respect for such a show.Many classic shows from the 60s and 70s have been released in wonderful quality season box sets.Why not Bonanza?
